[vpFREE] Re: Burned on Gift Card



This isn't an unusual story these days.   Many gift card systems have been hacked and funds have been drained.   The days of being able to trust a gift card received from a third party have passed. 

If you receive a gift card now from a third party (such as a casino, eBay, etc), I'd advise using it ASAP.   If you aren't able to redeem right away because you haven't found a suitable item to purchase then just go in the store and buy *anything* then return in the next day for a gift card issued directly from the store.   Yep it's a PIA but at least you're protected.
